As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was greeted by a burly man with bell-like eyes and short stubble. He grabbed Ren Baqian's shoulder and asked, "Are you Ren Baqian?"
Ren Baqian nodded.
"I will depend on you in the future." The burly man grabbed Ren Baqian's shoulders and shook him back and forth.
For some reason, Ren Baqian felt that these words were like a dying wish.
Then, the burly man laughed out loud. "I finally don't have to deal with those bastards. I want to pinch them to death every time."
Looking at his ecstatic expression, it was as if he had been sentenced to at least three years and was suddenly released.
Ren Baqian looked at him with bright eyes. Needless to say, this was the former Honglu Deputy, the one who broke the legs of four people and was reported.
Ren Baqian was curious. Was it so painful to deal with foreigners in the Honglu Bureau?
That burly man laughed wildly for a long time before patting Ren Baqian's shoulder and saying, "Boss Gu is waiting for you at the back. Turn right from here to the biggest house. "
Then, he threw his head back and laughed out loud.
Ren Baqian followed the direction he pointed and passed through the first row of buildings. There was a row of slightly shorter buildings at the back, and the door of the largest building on the right was open.
"Sir Gu." Ren Baqian got the two of them to stay where they were and shouted as he walked to the door.
Gu Daxiong was sitting behind a desk. The desk was empty except for two big feet. It was different from an ordinary office. There was nothing on the desk.
"Come in." Gu Daxiong raised his head and waved at Ren Baqian.
"Did you see Qi Zhi?"
"You should have met him before." Ren Baqian felt that they were talking about the burly man from just now.
"Yes, he ran away. From now on, you will be in charge until the group of people leave after His Majesty's birthday celebration. All I ask is that they don't bother me, and you can do whatever you want. If you don't like him, just beat him up. Just don't kill him. "Gu Daxiong casually threw a token on the table.
Ren Baqian was speechless as he took the token.
"Go find Gu Shou and get a set of official robes to alter first. If you see that there's nothing to do in the courtyard, take away the servants and use them. Just one thing, don't let them bother me, "Gu Daxiong grinned and reiterated.
Ren Baqian could only nod. It seemed like he was really throwing everything to him this time.
The officials of Dayao were indeed different from the flirtatious and cheap people of other places.
"Sir Gu, when exactly is Her Majesty's birthday celebration? How much longer until then?" Ren Baqian cupped his hands and asked.
"There are still 22 days left. He reckoned that someone would come in the next two days. Some of them will stay in the residences of the envoys from other countries, while others will be arranged by them. The rest will be up to you. "
"Where are they arranged?" Ren Baqian asked again. There had to be a place for them to be arranged.
"Find Gu Shou, he will tell you where to go," Gu Daxiong said.
"If anything happens to them, or if there's any trouble …"
"If they deserve to be beaten, then beat them up. They were the ones who insisted on coming over. No one begged them to come over." Gu Daxiong interrupted Ren Baqian.
When Ren Baqian saw this, he felt that it was better to wait and see.
"Sir Gu, one last question. What if the opponent is an expert? With my skills, I can't beat anyone, "Ren Baqian finally asked. If he was beaten up by someone else, he would definitely be buried by the empress.
Gu Daxiong looked at Ren Baqian suspiciously. Even though Ren Baqian's physique was a little thin and weak, and he didn't look like he could fight, but Her Majesty actually arranged for a weakling to come over? In any case, Ren Baqian was the Storyteller of Qingxin Palace Hall, and that old lady was very powerful.
"Wait." After finishing his sentence, Gu Daxiong stood up and walked towards the door. When he passed by Ren Baqian, he swung his arm and almost flipped Ren Baqian over.
"Why don't you have any strength at all?" Gu Daxiong turned his head and looked at Ren Baqian doubtfully.
Ren Baqian was pushed back a few steps. Looking at Gu Daxiong's innocent and doubtful face, he could only sigh.
Gu Daxiong walked to the door and shouted, "Xiong Pi, get your ass over here."
This shout was really earth-shattering, and the Honglu Bureau was immediately thrown into chaos.
"Boss, he's here, he's here." A loud voice came from afar.
When the person appeared at the door, Ren Baqian immediately felt as if a wall had suddenly appeared in front of the door. Even half of the light outside the door was blocked, and the room became dark in an instant.
The person who appeared at the door was a burly man who was more than two meters tall. He was bald, bare-chested, and wore a pair of cloth pants. His entire body was bulging with muscles, and there were many scratches on his body that looked like those left by wild beasts.
Gu Daxiong's physique was like that of a bear, but the person outside was taller and stronger than him. Xiong Pi were the largest of their kind, and the person at the door really lived up to his name.
Compared to him, Caretaker Shi was not much stronger than a chicken.
"Xiong Pi, this is the newly appointed deputy. You will follow him for the next few days, and beat up whoever he tells you to beat up."
"Oh, greetings, deputy." Xu Dali cupped his hands towards Ren Baqian. His voice was a little muffled, and he seemed a little silly.
Ren Baqian walked to Gu Daxiong's side and compared the difference in their physiques. Gu Daxiong's arms were almost as thick as his waist.
Just by standing there, he was like King Kong, giving people a huge sense of oppression.
Especially when looking at the scars on his body from such a close distance, Ren Baqian felt that his entire body was emitting a fierce aura.
If a hatchet man was to be graded based on his appearance, Ren Baqian felt that he could be given a score of nine. He gave off one mark because he was afraid that Xiong Pi would become arrogant.
"As long as his strength is not at the Heaven Rank, no one can defeat him." Gu Daxiong hammered his chest twice, producing a thumping sound.
Xiong Pi revealed a "simple and honest" smile, and there were still shreds of meat in the gaps between his teeth.
Was Heaven Rank the division of strength in this world? Ren Baqian did not know whether it was Heaven Rank, Man Rank, Heaven Rank, Heaven Rank, Heaven Rank, or Upwards Ho!. In any case, Heaven Rank should be very powerful, and he did not know what rank the empress was at. Ren Baqian cupped his hands and thanked, "Thank you, Sir Gu."
"It's alright. Looking at your small physique, he will follow you for the next few days." Gu Daxiong waved his hands.
"Then where should I look for Gu Shou?"
"The house at the very end." Gu Daxiong pointed to the left side of the main door.
"Thank you, then I will take my leave." Ren Baqian walked out of the door, and Xiong Pi followed him. Ren Baqian turned his head and looked at Xiong Pi. Xiong Pi was much taller than him, and he had to raise his head to look at Xiong Pi's face. When Xiong Pi walked, Ren Baqian could feel the tremors under his feet.
"I will have to take care of you for the next few days. Everyone has to complete the tasks given by the higher-ups," Ren Baqian said to Xiong Pi.
"Deputy, I will beat up whoever you tell me to." Xiong Pi grinned and gave a "simple and honest" smile.
Yes, it sounded crude, but the logic was not crude. That was exactly what he meant.
Ren Baqian nodded his head in satisfaction and went to the room at the very end to look for Gu Shou. After entering, he realized that Gu Daxiong was one size smaller. Even his actions were exactly the same. He was sitting on a chair, and both his legs were directly placed on the table.
